Beschreibung
Deep in the French countryside, a farm is blind with secrets, and an exhausted family struggles to survive. The father can't pay the bills, the brothers compete with one other, and the mother tries desperately to suppress the weight of the past. Enveloped in visceral silence, the farm animals witness a family tragedy unfolding before their eyes. And since the humans remain silent, it is the animals who must tell their story. Milk and Blood is a choral novel like no other, narrated by farm animals as they observe the humans who exploit, kill, and love them. Death and life contract like a shimmering muscle, and quiet devastation lies beneath the surface. Yet amidst this bleak brutality, it is Clairville's tenderness that is most affecting, as she draws poetry from mud and compassion from violence, in what is ultimately a declaration of love to those who feed us.
